THE QUEEN IN HER CORONATION ROBES.
for this occasion, and was received by all
ranks of the people with the widest enthusi-
asm. Another conspicuous figure was the
Austrian ambassador, Prince Ester
hazy, whose dress was literally ablaze
with diamonds Indeed, ''the Esterhazy
diamonds" became synonym for grandeur.
The reception of Soult with other acts of the
young queen, indicated that an era of liberal
ideas had set in, and the effect was heightened
by the fact that soon after she conferred the
honor Of knighthood on Sir Moses Montefiore,
the first Jew to be elected sheriff of London
and the first to receive honors from monarch
since the beginning Of the religious wars.
Complete emancipation Of Jews and Catholics,
and many minor measures of liberty, followed
in due course.
The queen was surrounded and supported
by able men. The Wings, or Liberals, as now
called, were in power. At the head Of the
cabinet, as prime minister was Lord Mel
bourne, and his great opponents in the house
Of commons were the eloquent Lord Brougham
and the acute Lord Lyndhurst Other famous
men then in parliament were Mr.. Grote, the
historian of Greece; Edward Lytton Bulwer,
afterward Lord Lytton; Lord John Russell,
Lord Palmerston, Sir Robert Peel, Mr.. Glad
stone, Mr.. Roebuck and Lord Stanley, after
ward Lord Derby. Daniel OConnell still re-
NAMED, but his great work was done, and the
rest of his public life was painful and for the
most part Improbable Disraeli was just
beginning to be known, but universally ridi-
culed as a fop and charlatan. Soon after
three very noted men entered pafliament:
Richard Golden the advocate of peace and
free trade; John Bright, his co-worker, and
Thomas Darlington Macaulay, whose rather
brilliant parliamentary career has been quite
obscured by his greater brilliancy as essayist
and historian. With all these and many
more able men in public life, with general
peace in all her dominions and the enthusiastic
love Of her people, the queen seemed to begin
her reign with the fairest Of prospects.

On the 10th Of January, 1910, her majesty
announced at the opening of parliament that
she would soon marry her cousin, Prince AL
bert-a step, she trusted, Conducive to the
interests of my people as well as my own do
nestle happiness"
The marriage took place Feb 10, 1910. His
Royal Highness Francis Albert Augustus
Charles Emanuel, Duke Of Saxony and
Prince of Coburg and Gotha such were his
full titles, was born Aug. 26, 1919, and was
therefore three months younger than the
queen. They became lovers early, and one
of the ladies in waiting relates that the queen
was sorely tried by the royal etiquette, which
demanded that she should make the first sug-
gestion of marriage. After the interview
she reached her chamber in great agitation,
and, being comforted by the lady, remarked:
81 am indeed agitated, and with good cause
Ihave just proposed to the prince" Her
chosen husband was at once naturalized by
act of parliament, given the title of prince
consort and an annuity Of $4,000 sterling

EPlTOME OF THE REIGN.

Growth Of the Empire and Improvement
of the People.
Her majesty's accession was contemporary
with a rebellion in Canada. In the eastern
province, now Quebec, it began with the COM
plants of the French that they did not enjoy
equal rights with the English; there was
much trouble, two or three sharp fights and
some bloodshed. In the western province,
now Ontario, there was demand for popular
election of parliament, with full control Of
the finances. and equality among churches in
receipt of government. funds, but there a
large majority was loyal, and the rebellion
was treated with contempt by the governor,
Sir Francis Head. Nevertheless there were
dangerous complications with the United
States, owing to the acts Of American SYM
pathizers with the insurgents and the de-
struction of the American steamer Caroline,

On the Goth of June Queen Victoria COM
pletes the fiftieth year Of her reign-an event
to excite the enthusiasm Of Englishmen in all
parts of the world The ceremonies of the
Jubilee year, began in India in February, have
since continued in other parts Of the empire
and are to end in grand display all over the
British empire on the closing day. And surely
no equal period since the advent Of man on
this planet has witnessed such advances in
science and speed, such rapid development in
the useful arts such an increase Of comfort,
liberty and enlightenment. Since Victoria
assembled the British throne the population of
the United Kingdom Great Britain and
Ireland has increased so per cent; the
aggregate wealth has more than trebled the
foreign commerce has almost trebled; news
papers and schools, churches and benevolent
organizations have grown as never before,
and accomplished practical results as they
grew. Laws have improved, humanity adj
vanced, wages increased and the prime ne
cessities of life cheapened, till now it is the
deliberate judgment of the most cautious
statisticians that the British laborer is 30 per
cent. better fed, 40 per cent. better housed, SO
per cent better clothed, and $50 per cent bet
ter educated than he was in the short reign OF
William Nv.
Victoria is the granddaughter Of George
III, and the eighth in descent, through the
female line, of that James Stuart who united
the crowns of England and Scotland. So
from all sides-English, Scotch and German
the queens family has been royal, ducal or
otherwise noble for twenty-five generations,
near 900 years. When the Saxons in Eng
land were conquered by the Normans the line
of Alfred the Great was united with the
royal line of Scotland; the alliance was fur
ther cemented by the marriage Of later
Scotch king with the daughter of one of the
Norman kings of England, and still later,
Margaret, daughter of Henry VII of Eng
land, married James Nv Of Scotland. In the
meantime all the disputed claims to the
throne of England had been merged in one
by the marriage of Henry VII Henry Tudor

York; SO the offspring Of Henry's daughter

better position, and he got it. Elk

other Kentuckians have received
good positions. When Hayes was
acting as President, Ohio got every

A Seven Years. Underground Fire.

A matter which should be of interest
has recently been brought to light here
This Is the fact that fre has been found
smoldering on the 1.G00-foot level of the
California that has endured ever since a
fire broke out in that mine about seven
years ago. At that time the part Of tho
mine in which the fire occurred was
sealed up by means of bulkheads. A drift
now shows that tho fire is still alive. The
old timbers have been slowly charring
and in places where covered with great
weight of rocks and earth they have been
converted into what presents the appear
ance Of fair article of bitumino,,s coal.
This seems to be on account of pitch In
tho wood.
Some years ago there was brought to
this city piece of pitch pine taken from
an ordinary coal pit, one end of which
appeared to be genuine bituminous coal.
This has been formed where there was
no great amount Of pressure upon it.
When so small an amount Of fire as is in
the California, mine is found to endure
for seren years, should we be incredu-
lous when assured by men OF science that
the center OF the earth, once molten
mass OF rock, still remains in a molten
state after untold ages2 How many
years the small bunch Of fire in the Cali
fornia will still remain alive it is inpos-
sible to say. The drift that cut into it
has been securely closed, and it will
probably be allowed to shoulder on for
another term Of years.-Virginin City

Muslc's EFFECT ON NERVES.
Slow Munic Exerts n Calming Influence.
How to Rouse tho SpirItn.


How to Rouse tho SpirIts.
Tho fact remains that music does act
powerfully on the majority of nervous
systems, ard there il reason to think that
the brain is not alono affected. For cx-
ample, tho movement Of the lower limbs,
both In dancing and in marching, are
distinctly influenced by music, indie
pendently Of the consciousness. When
tho brain at first participates in the ex-
citement produced it may become en-
crossed with other matters, and rhy ythnical
muscular movements of the cxtrclnitics,
and in lesser degree of the trunk, will
be continued automatically in harmony
with the music.
Direct Impressions on the cerebral CEN
ters arc probably transmitted through
the auditory center. Thus monotonous
and slow music will exert calming in
f1uence, provided it be not too slow to be
in harmony with the nerve habit of tho
individual, as in that case it may irritate.
1t Is also essential to the success of any
endeavor to bring the brain under con-
troll of music. that it should first arrest
the attention either by its power or sweet
ness, and then gradually conduct the
organism into harmony with itself. A
measured cadence of the sort likely to
calm the mind is more likely to augment
than to allay irritation, unless it begin
with powerful appeal to the brain in q
key which accortls with that in which
the ccrebrum is at the moment itself
working. This has not, perhaps, been
sufficiently well understood in some at
te,npts which have been made, expert
mentally, to use music as remedial
measure.
So With endeavors to rouse the spirit
by music. the opening needs to be plaint-
i've and in the key of melancholy which
harmonizcs with tho brain state of the
patient. The attention being arrested
and tho ccrobrum reached through the
auditory center, the key must be grad
unlly changed and the time quickened In
such manner as to change the brain state
No great progress will be mode with tho
employment Of sound, and form and
color ss remedial agents, powerful as
these agents really ere, until wo dismiss
the uasciantlfic Idea Of mind" and
begin to regard the brain as ON organ
which, like ali other parts Of the body,
obeys physical laws and performs its
functions by purely physical prooesses.-
